title: Culture, variation, and levels of analysis in folk psychologies: comment on Lillard (1998)
abstract: Not only do folk psychologies differ for adults in different cultures, but naive psychological conceptions begin early in life and develop. Understanding cultural variation requires understanding these beginnings and developments as well as considering naive psychological conceptions at several different levels of analysis.
